Scientific Linux Security Update : git on SL7.x x86_64 (20151208)

high Nessus Plugin ID 87582

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Scientific Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

A flaw was found in the way the git-remote-ext helper processed certain URLs. If a user had Git configured to automatically clone submodules from untrusted repositories, an attacker could inject commands into the URL of a submodule, allowing them to execute arbitrary code on the user's system.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
